It's powerfulness IS the problem. Some parts of systemd are great. Some are meh! Some really suck. But because it's monolithic, you can't take the good bits and replace the bad. You have to take it all or nothing.

That's the problem. Its architecture is offensively bad.

It's crazy crazy sort order that I can't stand. They deliberately go in and remove certain characters from the filename, specifically to make the sorting behave weirdly.

They missed my personal favourite:

SHIFT + INSERT ... paste the content of the PRIMARY select buffer (currently selected text).

I fucking love Cory Doctorow

r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.

Made my day.

It's pretty user-hostile to require a Google account for sign-up. I'd love to have a look at your site, but not at the cost of giving Google a cookie.

I'm in the UK, and I use Telegram. It's far superior to WhatsApp, and has somewhat better ethics (for now).
